connected to almost everything
i love my blackberry, but I'm lazy...

I'm so connected - my yahoo and gmails come directly to my phone. I have a facebook AND a myspace application right on my main screen.

I don't even like myspace.

BUT

I actually have to go to estrip on the browser. And then login. And in my world of 'check facebook in this 60 second break' it is creating a world of oh so connected for me.

Is there anything I can download so that I can be more (IMMEDIATLY) connected to my estrip? I know there is a program that will send me RSS feeds (whatever the hell that means) but I don't think that is what I need.
Also... is xtml beta the site that I want when I go to estrip? I know I must sound like a total noob to all you computer programmers...
fellyconnelly - 11/25/08 20:46
ok, i've got the xhtml site up, and it seems like it works - but it won't let me comment. Once I click 'comment' it comes up with the basic menu - but with no place to write in a comment. is this right?

so with an RSS feeder, any time somebody posted a journal it would feed that through? or every comment?
paul - 11/25/08 18:22
I doubt it. I partially made one with the SDK and then thought, why am I wasting my time. If this gets rejected I will be so angry at Apple that it will ruin my life.

I should just make a jailbroken app for it.
carolinian - 11/25/08 13:42
I wonder if an (e:strip) iPhone App would get past the App store censors...
james - 11/25/08 12:10
lol! n00b.

actually, I have no idea what all this gooblygoo is either. Glad Paul could help.
paul - 11/25/08 10:17
Ya, th xhtml mobile site is the one you go to. Once you are logged in you shouldn't have to keep logging in.

You can also use an RSS reader like you were saying, that way you can get any journal feeds you subscribe to or the main one.

rewind slow down pause
Just got in from a weekend at the parents house. Boy am I exhausted.
I ate ridiculous amounts of food - drank ridiculous amounts of coffee and soda.... and now i feel like shit... not to mention I gained like 4 lbs in a weekend...

i'm slowly learning the ins and outs of the blackberry... i don't go online too much with it, since i get both my yahoo as well as my gmail emails sent directly to me,(oh look - i can increase my penis size by 3 inches!) and my facebook and myspace updates are directly to me... this is probably why people don't like being too connected, huh?


i have the possibility of joining a paranormal research society, but I'm not sure how i feel about it. i mean the idea of it is quite neat, but i'm unsure as to whether these guys are serious or not. Kinda hard to say so far... anyone have a house/building that is haunted that i can come investigate?

yeah i know.. there is always something ridiculous that i am getting myself into.
ladycroft - 11/26/08 06:00
Well, the most reputable I think is TAPS, The Atlantic Paranormal Society. In fact, they recently did an investigation in B-lo!

Anyhoo, I say the most legit ones are those that try to DISPROVE paranormal activity by finding logical scientific causes for the 'experience'. If they're out to "prove" the activity, they are full of hot air.
fellyconnelly - 11/25/08 08:46
gardenmama - it would be a 'middle of the night' investigation for sure - and we would have to kick you out! But really - what kind of activity have you had?

oh and all ghosts breakdance... what kind of silly question is that james?
metalpeter - 11/24/08 19:17
Hey who knows about that society it might be very good and who knows maybe you will find something that will spawn a series of books or movies, or maybe it will just be people talking and a way to form a club. On a side note I used to get tons of the increase your penis size e-mails but the fact that a girl gets them is kinda funny like how I get ones for breast implants.
libertad - 11/24/08 18:59
I really love your title.
gardenmama - 11/23/08 22:36
haha - that's funny - I don't know - I've certainly never seen them breakdancing
james - 11/23/08 21:46
Do they also breakdance?
gardenmama - 11/23/08 20:38
My daughter and I both believe my house has a ghost/ghosts in it. I think my old tenant believed we had one too. They don't bother us so we don't bother them - it works. You could investigate if you wanted to but I have to warn that I'm a pretty lousy housekeeper. Mostly because when I moved from my old house it was 2400 sq. ft. and we moved into an apartment close to, but less than, 1/2 that size. I still have boxes I haven't unpacked because I don't know where to put the crap. Maybe it's time to purge. Sorry - I digress!

oh yeah, I'm a bit too excited for being awake at 5:30 in the am.
fellyconnelly - 11/19/08 07:12
the suite was amazing... i'd put a pix up but I havent had time to do so. I don't even know how to work my damn blackberry. Tonight i will try to post about the game...
metalpeter - 11/17/08 18:12
Hope you are there having a great time, I'm a little Jealous Have a great time.
fing - 11/17/08 11:47
I sat in that box once but when it was Choice One Communications. If it is anything like it used to be then there is free drinks also. Pretty much anything you want. Coffee with Kailua...Done. Make sure you save room for dessert after the half if you are a dessert person!
drew - 11/17/08 10:42
You need a buddy to go with, right? One that maybe needs to sign up for internet?
paul - 11/17/08 09:51
Now you can easily estrip on the go.
mrmike - 11/17/08 09:08
Inside a suite would be the only way I'd go. I worked those night games last year, not fun. Bundle up anyway for the hike from the parking lot.

Syke
Wanda Sykes is a big ol lesbian... who knew? I DID!



did this give you a clue?



hahahahaa
metalpeter - 11/17/08 18:18
I'll admit I had no Idea she was/is gay. I have seen some of her stand up comedy and it was pretty funny and in the stuff I saw there was no clues. I have seen some women who it is part of there act but the stuff I seen of hers I didn't see it.
fellyconnelly - 11/17/08 06:42
I laugh for 20 minutes every time I watch this clip. She does dress fancy, doesn't she? I should have been biggie shortie for halloween.
james - 11/16/08 21:49
oh man, I want to dress fancy and stand on a corner near some hookers for fun! That is the best hobby.

chai latte
Verizon Home Services....


So... i hate to ah.. advertise or whatever...

But if anyone is interested in any verizon home services - such as high speed internet - or, in some parts of the area, FIOS, then let me know and I can get you running. Actually I can get you running faster than calling up and asking for it yourself.

and yes i do get commission for it.


and for all you sabres fan, Rob Ray will be at my verizon lockport store tomorrow from 2-4 signing autographs. it is our 5 year anniversary. Also cake and stuff.

ok enough work plugs.

I made an amazing chai tea latte and i need to go enjoy it.
drew - 11/16/08 19:10
lets talk next time you are at work. 510-7086
fellyconnelly - 11/16/08 18:13
let me know for sure, I'll be happy to call in an order for you.
drew - 11/15/08 10:05
janelle and I got mad at the TW rate increase and then quit it. I signed up for verizon online (or at least I think I did) but there hasn't been a phone call, email, or anything, so I wonder if the sign-up worked. If it didn't we will sign up through you.
fellyconnelly - 11/15/08 09:43
Its still priming. Next Thurs I'll begin conditioning it and then it should be matured by December 4th. I'll let you know then... but remind me to tell you all about it when it comes out!
james - 11/15/08 01:43
speaking of chai, how did the chai beer come out?
fellyconnelly - 11/14/08 23:57
Not in the city yet. Word is that the areas that are going to get FIOS first will be the areas that receive aerial lines - They aren't too keen on trying to run all sorts of cable under the city right away. Underground lines can be extremely costly..I think its mostly outlying areas, but if you message me your address I can check.

Kenmore would get it sooner than Buffalo though..

FIOS internet and TV packages are not all that much more expensive, monthly, than time warner cable. With the TV package - there are 40 HD channels with room on the fiber optic cable for hundreds more - all uncompressed. You have to rent a box every month for each tv that you have. (you'll need a converter box come February when everything goes digital anyways)

Installation usually does not cost anything....
The problem is if you have old coaxial wiring in your house - it has to be replaced or there is no point. That can be costly....

Installation, incidentally, costs verizon about $1,500 per house. You don't pay any of that.

OK I'm going to stop now - I went to a training today and i'm full of useful facts.
mrmike - 11/14/08 21:15
Got to be soon. The verizon building on Elmwood is all about the Fios. Wish I could have it at my apt.
zobar - 11/14/08 21:14
Wo Paul.

How much does FiOS cost installation/monthly/hidden fees? Do you have any rollout information for Kenmore? I talked to some dude in a mall last December and he said 'any day now' but it turned out to be a shameful web of lies.

- Z
paul - 11/14/08 20:40
OMG, do they have it in the city yet? I want it the day it is available. I want a business account. I already have that one in Amherst but I want it at my house.
